I've installed too of these remote conversion control kits in my bedrooms. The both work fine, except in one of the bedrooms the normal wall switch can turn the fan lite on and off. In other words I can turn the fan lite on with the wall switch and...

Josie, I have installed two of these kits. One in my master bedroom, the other above my staircase and both work without issue. I did have a problem that is difficult for me to remember(it's been a long time since the install) that involved the light, it wouldn't operate. The issue turned out to be a wiring cross because I misread the directions, it was resolved when the wiring issue was corrected. Your problem sounds like it might be an issue with two light switches in the room. If you only have one switch in the room then I would recheck the wiring or return the unit affected by the switch.

The fan uses a remote control for all functions. Check with an electrician to see if your existing wall control can be used.

Sadly, no! But our electrician was easily able to use the converter kit. We looked around for a fan that came with a remote and couldn't find one that was cost effective as this fan plus the kit.

Two things to know:If you have a wall switch fan and dimmer, I believe you can still use it. The remote operates from a completely separate box that must be installed into the fan/light fixture itself and the remote only reads that box. So, it stands to reason both will work for you.

I have an old ceiling fan/light and this unit works fine with it. The receiver is installed in the fan base with some rewiring required. It is not real complicated. The unit works very well with either the wall switch or the remote that comes with it.

you have to have the wall switch on for the lights and fan to work. Use remote to turn off and on or the wall switch to turn off. Love my fan.

Hi caseyo, thanks for the question. Yes, you can use a remote with this fan. We recommend Control Model No: 99019. It must be purchased separately, and usually runs around $65 or so. As for your second question, lights can be added to this fan. We hope this helps, if you need anything further please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

We have one wall switch and we operate the fan and light with the remote control. Remote allows you to operate them separately.

I have mine hooked to a universal remote, it works great. As far as a receiver for the universal remote, that is part of the remote's kit. you simply wire the receiver into the fan, set the fan speed to high and the light ON with the chains, and then use the remote to control it

Well, our fan is hooked up using the wall switch but you kind of need the remote to speed up and slow down also the dimmer is on the remote.

I have a hugger type fan/ceiling light and the the Litex WCI-100 wall and remote control works very well with it. It should work with the Litex 30" fan also. It has 3 speeds for the fan and dims the light both from the wall switch and from the remote. The receiver is small enough to be mounted inside the base of the fan motor. I rarely use the wall switch as the remote is so convenient.

you have a remote for each fan or light - it only works with the one it's programmed to - you have to match the little bar settings in the remote to the bar settings in the fan or light. hope this helps....Bobby

I did not install a remote control. The manual states that "Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control" I would expect the fan to work well with a non solid-state control.

No ... If you open the battery cover, you'll see four tiny switches. These govern the channel that the remote is on. Some other device, probably not in your home, is operating on the same channel and turning on and off your fan and lights. To fix the problem, you will need to change the channel. This is easy to do for the remote ... but you have to make the same changes in the receiver in the fan, which is usually located under the cover nearest to the ceiling. Hopefully that will fix it, but if it doesn't, you'll have to try another channel. Good luck ... hope your ceiling isn't 14' like mine ...

the wall switch sends power to the fan, but you need to use the fan's remote to turn on the light. You can leave the light on, and then both the fan and light will activate via the wall switch.

Hi Deanna, unfortunately I am not using the remote that came with the fan. I purchased two fans for my back patio and opted to hard-wire them together to my switch. So I am only using my wall control. When it comes time to go backwards, I will just switch/press the small lever on the actual fan itself. Sorry I couldn't confirm this for you...:(

I did combine the fan, light (with nightlight) and heater using one switch and it works great. The electrician had a bit of trouble figuring out the schematics but was able to get it hooked up and working fine. None-the-less, I'd recommend it.
